  1. Digital signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature

    Definition. A digital signature scheme typically consists of three algorithms: A key generation algorithm that selects a private key uniformly at random from a set of possible private keys. The algorithm outputs the private key and a corresponding public key. A signing algorithm that, given a message and a private key, produces a signature.

  2. Pretty Good Privacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy

    The sender uses PGP to create a digital signature for the message with either the RSA or DSA algorithms. To do so, PGP computes a hash (also called a message digest) from the plaintext and then creates the digital signature from that hash using the sender's private key.

  3. Digital Signature Algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Signature_Algorithm

    The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) is a public-key cryptosystem and Federal Information Processing Standard for digital signatures, based on the mathematical concept of modular exponentiation and the discrete logarithm problem. In a public-key cryptosystem, two keys are generated: data can only be encrypted with the public key and encrypted ...

  4. Code signing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_signing

    Code signing. Code signing is the process of digitally signing executables and scripts to confirm the software author and guarantee that the code has not been altered or corrupted since it was signed. The process employs the use of a cryptographic hash to validate authenticity and integrity. [1] Code signing was invented in 1995 by Michael ...

  6. ElGamal signature scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ElGamal_signature_scheme

    Overview. The ElGamal signature scheme is a digital signature scheme based on the algebraic properties of modular exponentiation, together with the discrete logarithm problem. The algorithm uses a key pair consisting of a public key and a private key. The private key is used to generate a digital signature for a message, and such a signature ...
